Scholarly Content and Format
TUI encourages all students to comply with APA style and
format guidelines for proper citation of references. Your case assignments are considered
scholarly works. Your final work should include peer reviewed (scholarly)
sources. Please use the formatting
demonstrated in your Background section to cite the tutorials and readings from
the Module Overview.
Please keep in mind that you should not use sources such as
“Answers.com” or “Wikipedia” or “Wikianswers.”
None of these are scholarly sources and they can be “modified” by any
registered user which makes them unreliable.
Appropriate Headings and Paper Flow
Remember that you are preparing a formal academic paper.
Your paper should make use of appropriate headings and subheadings. You should not cut and paste the questions
posed and answer them like a “Question and Answer” session. Your finished paper should read like an
academic paper. You will post your final essay as a Word document to the Case
assignment dropbox.
Module 1 slp
Overview
Bacteria can talk to each other via molecules they produce
themselves. In this way, bacteria can synchronize together and function as one
large unit or colony. The phenomenon is called quorum sensing, and is important
to bacterial metabolism, growth and virulence. Watch the following video on
“How Bacteria Talk”, then read the link below on “Quorum Sensing” to learn more.

on September 14, 2016.
What is Quorum Sensing? Accessed at
https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/quorum/what.htm
on September 14, 2016.
Instructions
Prepare a 2- to 3-page paper in which you address the
following questions:
How would you define quorum sensing in bacteria?
How can quorum sensing improve nutrient delivery to
bacteria?
Not all bacterial relationships are harmful like the example
Dr. Bassler gave for the squid and bacterial bioluminescence. Describe an
example of a microbial relationship in the human body that is beneficial. Which
body system is involved (intestinal tract, skin, etc.)? Which bacterial species
is involved? How is it beneficial for both the bacterium and host?
What does the concept of quorum sensing mean for virulence
and disease in humans?
Based on Dr. Bassler’s research on quorum sensing, what
might the “next generation” of antibiotics look like? How might they work?

Module 2 case
In the Module 2 Case Assignment you will explore bacterial
growth and methods used to measure and control the growth of microbes. After
you have read the information on the Home page, answer the following questions:
Review the video on metabolism again from the Module
Overview. Where is metabolism being accomplished in the human cell? Be specific
and include a brief description of the organelle being described. Does a human cell accomplish aerobic or
anaerobic metabolism?
What does the video describe as the final electron acceptor
in the electron transport chain?
Using the dichotomous key linked to the term identify, which
organisms in the first frame of the video have been described in previous
module materials?
Now choose a pathogenic bacterium to discuss and find the
antibiotic that can be used to control it. Use this link to Antibiotic Modes of
Action to learn more about how antibiotics work and to identify the appropriate
antibiotic for your chosen pathogen. Use
the following format to write this section of your Case Assignment:
Introduction
Include the growth requirements and phenotypic
characteristics of your pathogenic bacteria.
Refer to the dichotomous keys, growth patterns, and the CDC website to
properly discuss these phenotypic descriptions of your pathogen.
Body Paragraph 1
Is this bacteria ONLY pathogenic or does it reside as a
normal part of the Human Microbiome? If
it is also a nonpathogenic resident microbe, what conditions create the
pathogenic state? (We use the term
“opportunistic pathogen” to describe this type of pathogen).
Body Paragraph 2
Describe the mode of action of the antibiotic class used to
control this bacterium. Use the information you gathered from answering
questions 1-3 about human cell metabolism to explain how antibiotics are
specifically effective only against bacteria (while leaving human cells
unharmed).
Conclusion
Summarize the topics you described and explain how the
characteristics of your pathogen can be used to control it.

Bioremediation is the use of organisms like bacteria, archea
or fungi to metabolize pollutants. Instead of simply collecting the pollutant,
bioremediation relies on living organisms to consume and break down the
compound, turning it into a natural, harmless product. This technique is often
used to help clean up major oil spills. Watch the following video and article

SLP Assignment Expectations
Page Length: 2 to 3 pages
Format
TUI encourages all students to comply with APA style and
format guidelines for proper citation of references. Use the fo
rmatting in your Background page as
a model for citing sources from the SLP assignment.
Scholarly Content
Your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your
final work should include peer reviewed (scholarly) sources.

None of these are scholarly sources and they can be “modified” by any
registered user which makes them unreliable. Upload your final word document to
the SLP dropbox.
